Why do you think the white male part is relevant? This is meant as an honest question. I know DEI is a thing, but it kind of already seems a bit out of fashion, and do we have any reason to believe that the labour market is easier for a Muslim woman?

Idk, for me occams razor tells me that the labour market is just a bit shit for all genders and races at the moment..
Your sarcasm is offset by your lack of knowledge and ignorance of facts.
Living "near" might be a meaningless metric depending on the definition.

I have noticed that if friends move even an hour outside of the city, you are lucky to see them 4x a year.

It's not much different from moving across the country (typically).

Additionally, 20% of a friend group moving away (1 in 5 people) can be enough to breakup what once was a a solid friend group.

Yes, there's other things at play.

But I definitely think this is the major driver.
Mind sharing what board/Jetson module you've seen this on? I've seen this exact symptom very intermittently on a custom board and we've wondered for a long time if was an issue with a specific type of module (or manufacturing lot of modules).
Thanks, this is great advice. I'm using two SurgeX SX 2120-SEQ power conditioner+sequencers -- one for the desktop devices and one for the stereo.

I'm baffled that, even with the conditioners and even though I'm a separate circuit in my office, the hairdryer is still able to do something to affect the electricity in my office.

If being forgery-resistant is the argument for paper docs, a passport that identifies me using strong cryptography is just as forgery-resistant (likely more so). And we could do a cryptographic verification without a persistent internet connection. (Or can’t we?)
> Taiwan is not China

Taiwan might be considered a de facto independent country, but according to most institutions it's officially part of China.

1. Taiwan's official name is Republic of China (ROC): it regards itself as part of China, and the sole legitimate seat of China's government. It's true however that "it has not formally renounced its claim to the mainland, but ROC government publications have increasingly downplayed this historical claim". [1]

2. In 1971, the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 "recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC) as 'the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations'". [2]

3. Only 11 (tiny) countries officially recognize Taiwan as an independent country, i.e. maintain full diplomatic relations. [3]

4. The U.S. official position is that "The United States has a longstanding one China policy", and "we not support Taiwan independence". [4]

Fun little game. Financial Times should however, not be leant upon as having a reliable take on what action is needed.

The main dodgy takes I noticed were
- over emphasis on cars and roads with limited funding for rail based transport (physics works people, as do the OG economics of rail barons, eg economic activation occurs where new stations go in)
- continual references to carbon capture and storage which is a totally junk science

Carbon Caoture and storage is straight up junk science that cleverly allows climate R&D fundings to go straight to fossil fuel companies. The earth is like a big unreliable sponge, there is no reliable evenly vaguely cost-practical way of pouring carbon underground and popping a lid on it so none comes out for years and years.
Baking recipes are the fucking worst.

I shouldn’t have to read 2000 words to make a cheesecake. And I shouldn’t have to read it three times before starting to make sure I combine the ingredients in the right order.

Even the good ones are often subtly wrong. For example, never add baking powder or especially cinnamon to wet ingredients. Stir them into the dry ingredients first, then combine. Otherwise they clump. With cinnamon it makes it look bad. With chemically reactive ingredients it can lead to insufficient rise. Who taught you people to cook? Obviously not grandma or PBS.

I see a lot of people blame “stale” baking powder and while that is a thing, mixing it in wrong or subbing oil for butter or not chilling (eg cookie dough) is just as likely a culprit.

My friend made two sheets of cookies from the same batch and the second ones were terrible. She left the dough on the counter while the first batch was in the oven. Rookie mistake. And she has adult children.

anecdotal/weird computer experience:

I have a rebadged Tongfang laptop (NB02 GMxRGxx w/ Ryzen 9) and upgraded it shortly after purchase.

The machine arrived with lower capacity Samsung SODIMMs. Swapped in 64GB of Crucial DDR5.

Shortly afterwards the machine became instable to the point of RMA. Kernel logs clogged with all sorts of panics related to NVMe, PCIe, and filesystem. Freezing. Reboots.

Spent hours diagnosing it. Many permutations of kernel command line arguments; pcie, acpi tables, iommu. All for naught.

The machine passed memtest86 / memtest86+ with flying colors.

bonnie++ absolutely trashed it. reliably.

Occasionally the NVMe drives fell off the pci bus and it wouldn't boot until I disable the slot in bios, power cycle, then re-enable the slot.

Fast forward to me getting fed up with a dysfunctional system, I attmepted RMA and gave them the rundown of all the weird seemingly chipset related failures.

They pushed back with "Try our RAM again."

I nearly had an aneurysm when everything was stable again.

After thanking the support staff profusely I bought larger capacity Samsung DIMMs in the same chip family. Still running flawlessly after almost a year.

Maybe try new RAM for yucks? ;)
> Well, people that want to half-watch TV deserve stuff made for them too.

What? No they don't. Film and television are visual art forms that are meant to be viewed and given the appropriate attention. There's already plenty of mediocre television out there you can use as background noise; we don't need to intentionally lower the bar for the media that's being made. As the article mentions, Netflix has already played its part in ruining the job landscape for writers and actors. I guess they see a need to play their part in devaluing the work that remains.
Increasing the minimum wage might help but it's still a sticky problem. It probably requires some federal solution which is to say, it's not going to happen.

I don't know the solutions, I'm just aware of the problem.
I'll add some more confusion to your mental list: the "gemeinnützige GmbH" aka "common-good LLC" - it is allowed to undertake commercial (income-generating) activities as its main activity (unlike the e.V. which may only do commercial activities like selling stuff on a very limited basis, stuff like selling swag for example), but the proceedings must be used only for activities in the list in §52 AO as well.
> Its not very sneaky, they got caught rather easily.

Getting caught is not a huge risk in the sense that Russians will still deny it, while at the same time it will raise the stakes in the public eye.

It's the same thing as with the continuous (but still deniable) nuclear sabre rattling.

> I was _very_ turned off to YT Music matching songs in my library with random audio tracks from YT videos. Perhaps they no longer do this

I was also mega turned off by this... initially. At some point it stopped happening to me unintentionally and now it only really happens if I start playing from a YouTube video (which is actually quite help for some obscure songs/remixes). You can also turn off this functionality all together in the settings.

> a true "music locker" service where you could upload songs from your library, no matter the source, and play them anywhere

You can upload your own music and then stream it from any device on YouTube Music now
Yeah, this Streisand Effected itself and probably wouldn't have garnered as much attention here otherwise.

This is why people should index wages as a percentage of the total enocomy. Because 'inflation' only means anything when compared to something else. Just saying inflation is meaningless by itself.
The real joke is that there's (roughly, I'm not counting) 379 comments all making the same stupid "LOL" or joke reply.
The catch is that even in-person interviews are no panacea. I agree that it's worth the time to filter -- I wasn't really responding to that bit -- but from what I've seen, you have to be a very good interviewer not to get a bad hire every so often.

I often wonder how many hiring managers are actually good interviewers, in-person or not, but I digress...

Seeing the truly bad hires dragged along to the detriment of the rest of the team is a sore spot for me, though. It happens way too often in my experience.
Not sure what to call a rule that immediately stops applying to any involved party as soon as one violates it, but "law" isn't a word that comes to mind.
Yea, the newer models wouldn't catch this but there is enough candidates going to chatgpt.com and just pasting in the question.

As always, it's arms race and one I wish I'd didn't have to participate in.

This is why unions in Europe often end up in two seemingly contradicting (but not really) positions regarding labour immigration. One is to try to limit it, and the other is to ensure that the immigrants gets as strong rights as possible if they are allowed in.
Also an incredible show but for very different reasons.
This. 100% this.

I can't believe any company would look at this story (which I've heard variations on from multiple peers) and go: "we should save money by not flying candidates out for an on-site and use terrible AI tools to sort our candidates."
The title for Bloomberg says

“Bill Benter did the impossible: He wrote an algorithm that couldn’t lose at the track.”

The article is more nuanced. He created an EV+ system. It included tickets bought that did lose as part of the system he used. In fact buying tickets that would lose was part of his system. Along with other tickets that would win.

What jjav is referring to is "at will" employment - in almost all US states, employees can be fired for almost any reason, with no recourse. So the fact you're saying that firing people is expensive and time-consuming in the US flies in the face of the actual legal environment there compared with most other relevant countries.

In any event it appears that reunification is essentially inevitable and the only question is when. China doesn’t appear to feel especial urgency about it.
Almost every multiple LED 12v strip I've ever used has the LEDs grouped in threes wired in series, likewise 24v strips are divided in to groups of six. I don't entirely understand the electrical science behind it but I think it's something like the voltage experienced by each LED is within tolerances even though the overall input voltage isn't, and if you were to try to cut the strip within a group it'd blow up that group quickly.

Those strips should use slightly less power for a given number and brightness of LEDs than their lower voltage counterparts because the higher voltage is losing less power to resistance over a given distance, same as high voltage transmission lines.
It is a shame that the 450mm transition did not occur. It would have been better for all parties as it should have lowered the cost of fabrication.
Yes, this is what everybody I know is experiencing right now.

Caveat lector: This is simply a retelling of my personal experience, YMMV. This is not advice.

What has consistently worked for me: I stopped applying for jobs, and redirected all that effort into creating and publishing open source projects that demonstrate competence in the areas of work I want. And, just as importantly, I contribute to big established open source projects in those areas too.

I did not apply for my current job (started 6 months ago): they solicited me, based on my open source work. All the best jobs I've had have been like that, this is the 3rd time it worked.

When I'm unemployed, I only apply for jobs I actually want, typically spending an hour each on 0-2 extremely targeted applications per week. But I treat churning out new open source stuff as my full time job until somebody notices. In addition to successfully landing me three great jobs over the past decade, this approach has made me a much much better programmer.

Also, I strongly believe spending hours a day writing new code will enhance your ability to pass technical interviews much more than gamified garbage like leetcode.

A huge part of making this work is not living a typical valley lifestyle: I plan my life around the median national salary for a software engineer, and when I'm making more than that it all goes straight into my savings. In the bay, that requires living frugally (by bay standards...), but I can't even begin to put into words how grateful I am to past-decade-me for living like that and giving today-me the freedom to turn down the bad jobs and wait for the good ones. Obviously, I don't have children.

I do a lot more open source than a typical programmer in the valley, but I don't think I'm "exceptional" in any sense: you just have to put in the work. I do feel like I was very lucky to start my career in an extremely open-source-centric role, and in fairness that gives me a leg up here which I am probably inclined to underestimate.
Trying to replace Google w/GPT but....

- Local search results for businesses, phone #s, directions isnt available

- Im paying GPT subscriber and it constantly logs me out on my different devices

- Sora I can not upload photos of whoever & make them do whatever like https://hailuoai.video/ which is free and at times fairly convincing (fun for the 12 yr old in you lol).

I know GPT Search is new and Im excited for GPT to become a phone AI OS or Open AI & MIcrosoft developed their own phone with a new personal device paradigm... i.e. create a H.E.R. phone.. it's your personal AI Assistant that does all for you via text, voice, hand gestures, facial expressions, etc. Once you pick up your phone you see your assistant waiting to assist. You can skin your AI assistant to look like anyone living or dead (loved one could live on & help your throughout ur day). Probably some crazy ideas but a H.E.R. phone / personal device as described (some parts) would be something new/different and possibly give Apple and Android a run for their money!
Which is wrong but doesn’t make it a coverup, which by definition assumes trying to hide evidence of wrongdoing.
More like tragedy of the commons.
Local public transit in the US is a very different beast to getting across the country.

Manhattan may have high population density, and the public transit that goes with it; but building passenger rail thousands of miles to the other side of a sparsely populated continent just doesn’t add up in the same way.
> Chesss960 doesn't have "slightly different rules" than chess, it's a variant where all the pieces are randomnly positioned at the start of each match

For the 99% people who don't know what it is, I figured than "slightly different rules" was a reasonable summary.

> Freestyle and FIDE organization are not in competition.

You may want to ask yourself why FIDE is acting like they are indeed in competition. Perhaps they see something that you don't? Several top players getting behind Freestyle chess probably has something to do with it.
> Have you considered that the bitterness that drips out of your posts here might be part of the reason you're having trouble finding work?

Bitterness? Have you considered that you're reading my posts wrong? Having a different political opinion than you does not equate to bitterness. No - I'm not bitter at all.

And as I've made quite clear on linkedin, I want nothing to do with an employer who tries to strong arm me out of my freedom of speech and expression, so I wouldn't work for the likes of you.

> I don't know what you're like in person

Correct you don't. I'm awesome.
Mea culpa.

Having said that, having done thousands of search for countless bands, albums, and songs, and having listened to countless playlists, I have never, ever encountered an unofficial track. It has always been first-party official releases.

I guess it's that I'm not looking for stuff for which there isn't a direct licensed track. But the earlier comments about "uploaded with that quality" and talking about replacement tracks is simply wrong for the vast majority of people. You're going to be listening to the music distributors version.

I guess if you're looking for anime music or something where an official listing simply doesn't exist then it's the alternative to nothing.
Definition of imperialism:

> Imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power (military and economic power) and soft power (diplomatic power and cultural imperialism). Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more or less formal empire.

Russia fits the bill very well.

Ports of Call is a game many have a fond relationship with, something we’ve seen during Retrogamingpappa’s somewhat informal (but also completely official) Norwegian Championship for Amiga games, where it did very well against many tough competitors.

This article unintentionally perfectly rebuts the idea of licensing:
https://mcpmag.com/articles/2005/05/11/the-death-of-paper-mc...

Our industry is one where actual skills should and do matter, and much gatekeeping has been reduced.

Professional rote learning is great for mandarin jobs where you are working within a static prescribed framework (legal, accounting, building codes). It is terrible for jobs that require professional taste.

Tell me how you would create a license for a graphic designer or UX specialist.

I actually fail to understand idealists that believe that licensing might even work. Who are y'all?
Expert sex change will long be remembered. I recall there was an Italian site that had a very spicy “Le Tits Now” reading but it escapes me.
If you (the company) send me a company laptop to use for that shit, sure, we can interview that way. It is the same deal with Teams and Zoom. None of that shit is touching my personal devices, it is strictly limited to the work machine.
Not just cheap, but excessive hours. People like musk don’t want someone that works 8 hours a day and goes home. He wants someone that works and lives to work.
honestly the community Emacs has really sets it apart, and it's a piece of software where the GPL makes sense and shines and this is super clear in the Emacs community.

YT Music really is odd. I pay for YT Premium and so have played with it a few times but it feels rather ill-suited for its purpose… as you say, the video streaming heritage is quite evident. Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, heck even Amazon Music last I tried it have much more music-oriented UIs.

YouTube is also actively hostile to third party devs in ways that at least Apple isn’t, somehow. Third party Apple Music clients have existed for years using official Apple-provided APIs, which YouTube isn’t going to ever allow even for paying customers.
How many times are you going to shift the goalposts? This is getting tiresome, so I’ll make it my last reply.

I don’t have Netflix but neither is that relevant to the point, you’re obviously and embarrassingly grasping at straws.

No one is arguing against continuous cloud backups, they’re arguing about sending data without consent. Which, by the way, is something Apple used to understand not to do.

Apple’s OS are already filled with Windows Vista style popups and permissions for inconsequential crap, people have been making fun of them for that for years.

I took this for a spin today. Coming from a long-time iTerm2 user, the first thing I noticed was how snappy everything feels, especially when resizing the window. The straight-forward configuration was extremely nice as well and can be stored in my dotfiles now (iTerm was a giant dump of XML).

A few things that keep me from switching to it full time:

- Missing search scrollback (cmd+f). This appears to be coming soon: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189

- More of a nitpick than anything, but the only way to disable cursor blinking is to disable shell integration. Unfortunately, this means taking away things like native scrolling and likely some other things I don't know about. I see there is a discussion here to possibly address this: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2812

I feel like this would be a no-brainer switch for me once the above are addressed.
Thank you! I stand corrected. I had missed that portion of your quote.
